The woman who because of war grew a beard
The hard wind that breaks the tops of trees
The rain that threatens without falling
The 16 Orisa by the side of Sango
By the way she moved her arms, by the way she walked
Oya was able to take their husband from their hands
Oya, the one who sees fire and puts it on like clothing
